Tho 1utor.stats Commerce Bill.



lClncinnati Commercial Gazette.
December 81, 1856.
lfthe Reagan bill should become
an alleged law, the railroads toult
not, of course, fix their local rates {,
conform to the long-haul rates, ant
therefore the vast business of cheal
transportation for long distance
would bo annihilated, and local rate
would be put up to supply the def
cheney.
The tendency would be to driv,
business to the edge of the country
Chicago could get along, owing t'
her water transportation. Tie sea-
coast cities would be least troubled
because they have the coasting trade
Mr.. Reagsn's town of Galveston
would profit, by having the bushes,
OF Texas forced through that port
The interior cilies-Clncinnati, Kan
sas City, and st. Louis-would be
squeezed.
Our advantages of central position
in Cincinnati would be turned
against us. Mr.. Harley Proctor, OF
Proctor & Gamble, said, yesterday,
that ii ever The Reagan bill became a
law, there would never be another
stone laid in the improvement at
Ivorydale. The question was wheth-
er it would not be well to stop now,
and see whether this astonishing leg
islation must 10 perpetrated.
The Reagan bill is to force the
country back into the old ruts of bust
ness--to prevent the use of the rapid
transit of vast masses of freight
across the country, to compel by
national law system of petty aud
tyrannous provinclalism, to make
State lines barriers against commerce,
to bind up the business of the coun-
try in sectional parcels, and TO enable
the professional politicians, through
commissioners, to bleod the business
of the country.
The ignorance displayed on this
vast and vital subject by members of
Congress is something shocking. The
avesage intelligence among members
of Congress is, that it would lie a /
good piece of demagogy for member
TO vote for an Interstate commerce
bill. There is demand by the yaw-
pors for some further meddling by
Congress with business, and this bill
would seem TO meet the demand, aud |
therefore half the members of Ohio, |
Kentucky and Indiana, have been
ready to vote for a desolating dis
against the cities of their
own States, without the slightest in
imation acknowledge of the astound-
ng sweep of the Legislation propos.
